EAPI=5, ghc-7.6 and other goodies

Today I have unmasked ghc-7.6.1 in gentoo‘s haskell overlay. Quite a few of things is broken (like unbumped yet gtk2hs), but major things (like darcs) seem to work fine. Feel free to drop a line on #gentoo-haskell to get the thing fixed.

Some notes and events in the overlay:

ghc-7.6.1 is available for all major arches we try to support

a few ebuilds of overlay were converted to EAPI=5 to use subslot depends (see below)

Ah, ok, thanks for the details. I’m still in search of a slightly safer fix to the haskeline problem :-) I’ve fixed the catch problem in HEAD but I guess it’s worth fixing 2.8 as well since I’m not yet sure when 2.10 will happen.
